Is that a Dragon with freakin Disintegrator Cannons on it?...

…YES IT IS!

This is one of my entries to the MWC September Conversion Contest. I made this conversion with the intention of bringing a little bit of the fantasy back into 40K. The Dark Elf Black Dragon model was just too cool to pass up, so I tried to find a way to make it a 40K vehicle and this is what I came up with.

Essentially on the table this would count as a Dark Eldar Ravager with 2 Disintegrator Cannons and one Dark Lance. I added subtle cybernetics all over it and modified the rider to have more Dark Eldar looking armor vs. Dark Elf. A left over Finecast Archon helmet was just the bit of dandy fopism I needed for the rider and voila!

I magnetized the 60mm base to the resin Plinth I picked up from Secret weapon Miniatures to allow me to use it both as a gaming model and a display model. When I wnat to game with is I simply "pop" the plinth off.

This wounded Marine is certainly saying to himself "Holy Throne! What the hell is that thing!"

@XzandrateThe reason I didn't make it a Voidraven is cause I didn't want to put a ton of huge missiles on the Dragon and reduce the sleekness of him. I was making this primarily a display piece first and a gaming piece second.

Also, I have Voidraven already: http://eyeoferror.blogspot.com/2011/03/voidraven-is-painted.html

I'm playing the Dragon as a Ravager with a ton of extras:Aethersails = WingsEnvenomed Blades = Dragon ClawsChain Snares = Dragon ClawsRetrofire Jets = Sudden wing reversalGrisley Trophies = The whole general scariness of the dragon
